Valentines Day to Easter Challenge 2016

[saraj91]

Welcome to the next challenge! 

This one will run from Valentines day to Easter, so from February 14th to March 27th. Everyone and anyone can join this challenge in which we all set our own weight loss goals, this gives us 7 weeks in total to work towards them! 

This group of lovely people provides encouraging support and words of advice as we all share our experiences, good and bad. It has proved beyond helpful to myself and many others as we become healthier and achieve amazing things.

To be part of the challenge you start by posting your initial weight stats and what you would like to achieve by the end of the challenge. You can then check in as often as you'd like with a weight update, to share a story from your week or start a conversation about a topic you'd like some advice on.

 
So excited for us to keep working towards our goals with the fantastic friends from the last challenges and a big 'Hello!' to all the challenge newbies! 

Thank you @awood08 for kicking off the last challenge!

I'm in again. I hope I will succeed this time. Other than newborn grandchildren in the picture, there are no birthdays that I have to worry about except for Hubby on the 18th. I've had birthdays from the 1st of Feb to the 10th. Then Valentine's day on the 14th. Feb. is not the month for me to really lose unless it's the end of the month.

This is my first challenge!  Got my FitBit 4 weeks ago.  In the last week I've been hooked about meeting all my goals for the day.  I have a Mediterranean Cruise in June for my 35th birthday, and I want to be down to at least 170 by then.

Here are my stats:

USW: 236

CSW: 206

GW: 192 by March 27th

I've been yo-yoing for a while, and haven't made much progress towards my UGW in the past few months.  A Challege might be exactly what I need for that extra motivation!

Wow lots of newbies starting early and that is great. Most of us are still over on the New Years to Valentine's Day Challenge. We will be here on 2/15 to join you. I'm 8 lbs from my goal that I hit 2 months ago and then didn't maintain, darn it, so I'll be here in 3 days. I'm pledging to eat one little piece of dark chocolate on Valentine's Day and no more. 

Original starting weight 153

current weight 2/11    142

goal weigh  Easter   134

Very doable and then I need to maintain it!!!

Best, 

Barbara G
